In this intense and deeply personal clip, Konstantin Kisin explains why he refuses to send his child into what he sees as an increasingly ideological and politicised UK school system — and why he believes many parents are quietly coming to the same conclusion. This isn’t about attacking teachers or schools; it’s about asking what education is for, who it serves, and what happens when political ideas start replacing knowledge, curiosity, and open debate in the classroom. https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Kisin argues that the problem isn’t that schools discuss difficult topics — it’s that they increasingly present them as settled moral truths rather than open questions. Instead of teaching children how to think, schools are drifting toward teaching them what to think. And once education becomes ideological, it stops being education and starts being indoctrination. The curiosity gap is uncomfortable: if these ideas are so obviously right, why do they need to be taught so carefully, so selectively, and so early? Why does disagreement feel forbidden? Why do parents feel nervous even asking what their children are being taught? Kisin isn’t claiming there’s a single conspiracy or a central plan. He’s describing a cultural shift — one where institutions become afraid of controversy, afraid of accusations, and afraid of being seen as insufficiently progressive. That fear produces conformity. Conformity produces narrow thinking. And narrow thinking produces fragile students who can recite slogans but struggle with complexity. He argues that children don’t need protection from ideas — they need protection from dogma. That’s why he believes the only responsible option is to step outside the system entirely. Not because it’s perfect. Not because it’s easy. But because it preserves something increasingly rare: intellectual freedom. This clip isn’t about nostalgia for the past. It’s about concern for the future. About what kind of citizens we’re raising. About whether the next generation will be curious, resilient, and independent — or anxious, compliant, and fearful of saying the wrong thing. You don’t have to agree with Kisin to recognise the anxiety he’s tapping into. Parents everywhere are sensing that something has changed — and they’re asking whether the system still deserves their trust. This clip doesn’t offer comfort. It offers clarity.
